Beavertails seem to be a Canadian thing - since I'm an out of towner, I wanted to try. According to Google: a beavertail is'a Canadian pastry, specifically a flat, fried dough treat shaped like a beaver's tail, & is often topped with various sweet toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate, or fruit. It's a popular Canadian dessert, especially in Ontario & Quebec.'

I got the pistachio nord, which they were advertising. It's pistachio cream drizzled over the chocolate beavertail. It was pretty sweet, but it was also very tasty.

I visited during summer, & it was so hot inside. There was little to no AC. The line seems long, but it goes by pretty quickly. The inside is pretty with some seating.

Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

The beaver tails are very sweet & sugary🙌 They make them pretty quickly so the wait is minimal, also since they are a classic place you really must visit at least once🦫♥?

One of the few remaining locations that hasn't closed up in the last couple of years. Friendly staff, it takes a while to get your queue de Castor since it is made on the spot. But the wait is worth it 😀
